Where can I find the best currency exchange rates in Tampa?

Independent exchange desks in Ashley Drive and Downtown Tampa and retail travel money counters at International Plaza and Bay Street offer the most competitive cash rates in Tampa, keeping spreads between 1.8% and 3.5% for major world currencies.

Should I exchange currency in Tampa or at TPA airport?

Always exchange your money in Tampa before arriving at the airport. Kiosks at Tampa International Airport (TPA) charge markups of 10% to 14.5%, costing you an unnecessary $70 to 120 USD more per $1,000 USD converted.

Can I buy foreign currency on weekends in Tampa?

Yes. Retail travel money desks inside International Plaza and Bay Street operate seven days a week, making them the most reliable choice for weekend foreign cash exchanges.

What identification do I need to exchange currency in Tampa?

You will need a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a state driver's license or international passport, for any foreign cash exchange of $1,000 USD or greater.

Can foreign tourists exchange cash in Tampa without a US bank account?

Yes. International visitors can exchange foreign cash directly at independent retail counters across Tampa upon presenting a valid foreign passport.
